Book

Humanity matters.

Developers have been taught to ignore and dismiss our humanity. But our full humanity is essential.

We need skills such as intuition and judgment based on experience, handling complex systems, collaboration, communication, empathy, and creativity.

I'm writing a book about what embracing our full humanity means, why it's important, and how we can start.

Writing was my first love, even before computer programming.

I'm a graduate of The Book Academy, a book writing and publishing intensive offered by 4x New York Times best-selling author, Luvvie Ajayi Jones.

Certificate of Completion in red and gold. The text says: 'This is to certify that Jessica Roy, a member of The Book Academy, has completed the course this 4th day of March 2025.' It is followed by the signature of Luvvie Ajayi Jones, Founder and Book Coach.

Questions

Can I be an early reader?

Yes! I would love to have feedback from others. I only have my own experiences, my own career growth, and my own research. I'd love to see how my stories and recommendations land for you. Keep in touch.

The best way to see drafty copy and offer feedback, as well as to get updates on the book, is to sign up for my mailing list - see below.

Can I get a signed copy?

Of course! Buy one for yourself and one for a friend who needs to hear this message, and I'll sign them both.

If you want to take it a step further and read it with a book club, let's talk. I'm sure I can provide some extras for a book club!
